The match simulation allowed the players the freedom to make frequent movements between the nets and the centre wicket, and Virat Kohli made the most of it. India’s star batter’s first essay didn’t go as planned as he got out within 15-20 minutes after scoring only 15 runs.

Amid the chatter around his form, Australia legend Glenn McGrath feels a couple of low scores on the Australia tour could see Virat sink even lower in terms of form. "If they go hard at him, if he gets in the fight with emotions, there's a bit of chat out there, who knows he might sort of lift," McGrath told CODE Sports' Daniel Cherny.

Former Australian opener David Warner has cautioned the Pat Cummins-led side to be wary of the danger presented by Virat Kohli, despite his recent decline in form, in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Warner thinks that Kohli's proven track record of performing exceptionally well in Australia could play a crucial role in the upcoming five-match series.
